CPU utilization climbs above 90% on several VMs. This causes performance degradation for a business-critical application.
How can alerts be configured to notify the administrator before VM CPU utilization hits 90%?
Correct Answer:B

An administrator is commissioning a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. Once the user VMs have been deployed and are running, the administrator finds that VMs on the same host are able to communicate, but are unable to communicate between hosts.
What must be changed to enable full inter-VM communications?
Correct Answer:C
According to the web search results, one possible cause of inter-VM communication failure between hosts is that the switch is not configured to allow VLAN 15 traffic. VLAN 15 is the default VLAN ID used by AHV for internal communication between CVMs and hosts. If the switch blocks or drops VLAN 15 packets, it will prevent inter-VM communication across hosts4. To enable full inter-VM communication, the administrator should update the switch to specifically allow VLAN 15 traffic on the ports connected to the
AHV hosts.
Which component is supported by Prism Central storage policies?
Correct Answer:A
According to the Nutanix Prism Central Guide, Prism Central allows you to apply storage policies on a per VM basis using Category, so that the VM uses the storage configuration defined in the storage policy. Using a storage policy, you can manage parameters of VMs, such as encryption, type of or lack of data compression, and IOPS or Throughput throttling values to be applied to the entities.
Which method can be used to migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV?
Correct Answer:C
Nutanix Move is a tool that allows you to migrate VMs from different sources to Nutanix AHV with minimal downtime and complexity. Nutanix Move supports migration from Hyper- V to AHV, including VMs configured for UEFI-boot. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which is a standard for the software interface between the operating system and the firmware. UEFI-boot is a mode of booting that uses UEFI instead of BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to load the operating system. UEFI-boot offers some advantages over BIOS-boot, such as faster boot time, larger disk support, and better security features1.
To migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV, you need to use Nutanix Move and follow these steps2:
✑ Download and deploy the Nutanix Move appliance on the AHV cluster.
✑ Log in to the Nutanix Move web console and add the source Hyper-V environment and the target AHV environment.
✑ Create a migration plan and select the VMs that you want to migrate. You can choose either automatic or manual preparation mode for the migration.
✑ Start the migration plan and monitor the progress. The migration plan will perform data seeding, which is the process of copying the VM data from the source to the target in the background.
✑ When the data seeding is complete, perform a cutover, which is the process of shutting down the source VMs and powering on the target VMs. The cutover will also configure the boot device for the UEFI-boot VMs on AHV.
✑ Verify that the migrated VMs are working as expected on AHV.

What are two minimum prerequisites for live migration to succeed? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:AD
According to section 5 of the exam blueprint guide1, one of the topics covered is live migration. Live migration is the process of moving a running VM from one host to another without any downtime or interruption of service. To perform live migration, there are some prerequisites that must be met, such as:
✑ All AHV hosts have IP addresses in the same subnet
✑ All VMs are configured for the same VLAN
✑ The source and destination hosts have enough resources to accommodate the VM
✑ The VM does not have any PCI devices attached
An administrator needs to run a mixed Exchange and SQL workload with a guaranteed amount of container space for each application.
